Strategic Procurement

Helping clients to deliver results in strategic sourcing and procurement has been OnDemand’s key focus since our inception in 2003. In fact, our very first project, for a global CPG company was focused on Telecom Spend Management (TSM). We were asked to evaluate their existing TSM capabilities and recommend the optimal way to manage telecom spend going forward. This client continues to be a highly satisfied user of our services to this day…

Since then, we have perfected our simple model of leveraging an extensive network of independent subject matter experts to support a wide variety of our clients’ strategic sourcing and procurement project needs. In some instances, our clients consider us a viable alternative to engaging high priced traditional consulting firms, in others as a natural extension of their in-house talent when and where they need extra expertise or bandwidth. In all cases, we strive to provide great value by delivering services at an attractive price point with clear focus on outstanding results.

Typical areas of our work include:

  • Spend Analysis
  • Category Strategic Sourcing
  • Vendor and Category Management
  • Procurement Transformation
  • Procure-to-Pay Enablement and Improvement
  • Governance and Policy Development and Implementation
  • Training

Let us know how we can help your organization deliver the results you are looking for.
